It is hard to imagine that spring will come. Here’s the flooding at our place after all the snow melted. We have had ravaging winds and serious rain here, and the flood waters come down from the development above us. In the background of this photo you can see a government worker’s car (on a Saturday!). The flooding was so bad the rams are actually using their shelter. They were thrilled to move into the barn where they wait for the rains to slow down.
But there is one sign of spring coming. My shearing day is scheduled! It is Monday, March 5th. Anyone who would like to help out please let me know. There is free wool for those who help. Also anyone who would like to reserve a fleece, please let me know.
Here’s the Mica hat I finished last night. It is made out of fur from my dog who was a mutt but had the nicest golden fiber. I carded, spun, washed and then knit the Odessa hat with it. Now I am going to make mittens, Feathercrest by Jared Flood. The pattern is in my Christmas present book, Knit Real Shetland. It will not be Shetland fiber this time but should match the hat well.
Here’s our forecast (I could use a warm hat):
